CPSC recalls

MAY

• Delta Enterprise of New York is voluntarily recalling about 180,000 Lov's Decorated Orthodontic pacifiers. The pacifiers are banned under federal law. They failed federal safety tests when the nipples separated from the base. This poses a choking hazard to young children.
• Pamela Drake Inc. of Emeryville, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 7,000 Lemon Meringue wooden push toys. Small parts can break off, posing a choking hazard to young children.
• Dollar General Corp. of Goodlettsville, Tenn., is voluntarily recalling about 80,000 heart-shaped pendants. The recalled heart-shaped pendant contains high levels of lead. Lead poisoning in children is associated with behavioral problems, learning disabilities, hearing problems and growth retardation.

A young child's chin, jaw and teeth can get lodged in the opening at the top of the push toy's round-shaped handle and incur injuries. Fisher-Price also is voluntarily recalling about 154,000 Grow-To-Pro pogo sticks. An internal metal pin can wear down, causing the pogo sticks to remain stuck in the down position and release unexpectedly, posing a risk of fall or facial impact injuries to children.
